nPint can pours with nice deep dark colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a bucket full of vanilla beans as well as thinner notes of dark roasted malts, some dark fruity esters and dark roasted coffee. The taste is similar as it delivers a tasty thicket of fresh vanilla bean goodness that's balanced by malt sweetened dark roasted to nearly burnt maltiness. To midway the vanilla enhanced flavor picks up a low murmur of sweet dark fruity esters like plums and figs. This is nice as the flavors are pretty well integrated and they create a pleasing balance and depth. Nice sipper indeed. The oak that's here is really well hidden. If I didn't look at the description I wouldn't know oak was involved.
